New Bowling Center Now Complete

The Playdium, which has just been completed at 3737 Southwest Eighth Street (Tamiami Trail), is one of the largest and most modern bowling centers in the South. It is reported that the Playdium, including the real estate, represents an investment of $80,000.

This Week in the War ..

The White House reported the nation's vast cargo ship construction program is on schedule and "the American people can be assured that the shipyards will do the job assigned to them." The statement said shipyards delivered 120 new vessels in the first 130 days of this year, 20 per cent more than were built in all of 1941, and the production peak has not yet been reached. American shipyards are building merchant vessels faster than ever before in the history of the world, the White House said. Cargo ships are being built in less than one-half the time originally allotted. "The progress made thus far is easing our shipping problem, but there will be a shortage of ships until sinkings throughout the world are brought under better control and the shipbuilding program gets into full production," the statement said. * * * ARMY-NAVY WAR REVIEW—A joint Army-Navy communique reviewed the progress of the war to date. The communique said that during a period of preparation for offensive action, a "number of successful thrusts" at the Japanese had worked a "lasting effect upon the strategic situation." Among such strokes it listed the naval raids on the Gilbert and Marshall Islands, Wake Island, Marcus Island, and the bombing of Japan itself. It included also the destruction of Japanese ships in the battles of the Coral Sea and Macassar Straits, the accomplishments of American submarines in the Far Pacific and the numerous raids by American planes based on Australia. The joint communique also reported that during the first three weeks of the war about 600,000 American troops moved to battle stations, many of them overseas. Unified command is now in effect in every theatre of war. The defense of the Philippines, the communique said, "demonstrated the comparative weakness of the Japanese as an individual warrior," a factor which "alone forebodes disaster for the enemy Japanese in the future when the battle is met on terms approaching equality." * * * COST OF LIVING—The Office of Price Administration said the general ceiling on retail prices, now in effect, is expected to cut the cost of living by 1 1/2 percent. The Labor Department reported that by mid-April families of wage earners and lowersalaried workers had to spend $1.17 to buy the same things for which they spent $1 before August, 1939. Price Administrator Henderson said the American standard of living will be reduced to the depression-bottom level by the end of 1943. Civilian purchasing power will be about three times the 1932 figure, while available consumer goods will decrease 24 per cent during 1942. To aid the anti-inflation program, representatives of the 550,000 shipyard workers in the nation's private shipyards agreed to relinquish approximately $30,000,000 in wage increases, the WPB reported. * * * RATIONING — The OPA announced gasoline card rationing in Oregon and Washington will begin June 1 and continue until July 1, when a coupon rationing plan will be placed in effect. The WPB restricted deliveries of fuel oil and gasoline to the West Coast states to 50 per cent of normal deliveries, effectively immediately for oil and June 1 for gasoline. Petroleum Co-ordinator Ickes said there is no immediate need of curtailing deliveries of petroleum products elsewhere in the country. The OPA removed the 50-mile zone west of the East Coast rationing area where motorists from the rationed area were to have been required to present cards for gasoline. Local ration boards will be directed to open their records to public inspection as soon as practicable the OPA announced. The agency also said gasoline dealers will be responsible for keeping rubber cards to determine whether they have enough units to cover purchases, to see that the descriptions on them apply to the cars for which they are presented, and to destroy or mark used ration card units. * * * Production Secretary Jones announced the Reconstruction Finance Corporation will make $150,000,000 available for purchases of tires held by consumers. The OPA authorized manufacturers to ship adult bicycles to distributors and said it will begin bicycle rationing in about three weeks. * * * CIVILIAN SUPPLY—The WPB notified stove manufacturers whose sales for the year ended June 30, 1941, totaled more than $2 million, as well as those in any of 39 "labor shortage areas," that they cannot produce domestic cooking and heating stoves after July 31. Manufacturers authorized to produce stoves were limited to certain approved types and to monthly iron and steel use of 70 per cent of the average they used in the year ended June 30, 1941. New installations of air conditioning and commercial refrigeration were limited except for war and essential civilian requirements. Anti-freeze production was limited to 50 per cent of 1941 output to enable the Army and Navy to get to the rapidly expanding battlefronts. The War Department said a substantial proportion of available flight equipment of commercial airlines will be diverted to cargo carriers, which they will operate for the air service command. The House passed and sent to conference a bill increasing the base pay of enlisted men in the armed forces. The House-approved bill would increase the pay of privates and apprentice seamen from $21 to $50 a month; the Senate-approved bill provides an increase to $42. War Secretary Stimson said Army field maneuvers will be held from the last week in May through the first week in November in the South and Southwest. The Army said 1,500 volunteer officer candidates will be accepted each month under its plan to enroll Class 3-A registrants for training in Officer Candidate Schools, with allotments for each area based on the number of such registrants in the area. Selective Service estimated the U. S. may have 10 million men under arms by late 1943 or by 1944. He said men inducted through Selective Service after June 15 will be granted 14 days for concluding personal affairs before being assigned to active duty. Transportation and meals incidental to induction procedures will be at Government expense, he said.

EASTERN MILITARY AREA

—Lt.-Gen. DeWitt, Commander Drum proclaimed all East Coast states from Maine to Florida to be the eastern military area —primarily to enforce effectively the dimout restrictions to safeguard shipping. The proclamation said the protection of United Nations commerce from enemy attack involved the effective control of artificial lighting along the Atlantic and Gulf Coasts and for a "reasonable distance inland." * * * THE ARMED FORCES—President Roosevelt said American forces are getting into the world fight more and more, and in new places all of the time. He said the increasingly far-flung fight calls for increasing numbers of transport planes to endless domestic airlines will be transferred outright to the Army Air Forces. The airlines will also convert approximately 70 ships into cargo carriers, which they will operate for the air service command.

Gables Regains Title Community Building

(Continued from Page 1) gation now pending in Federal Court at the expense of the City. The City was advised that Clifton Doll Benson, who had been acting as attorney for the Woman's Club prior to the Tuesday community meeting, would join in the motion for the dismissal of the Federal Court case. The controversy began when WPA officials insisted that the title to the building, into which $36,000 in Federal funds were expended, must be regained by the City and that title should never be relinquished by the City. The agreement was signed by Mrs. Evan D. Roser and Mrs. Ruth Olson for the Woman's Club and by Mayor Joe Whitley and City Manager George N. Shaw for the City. City Attorney Theodore Semple's letter to the women avowed that the club was held "in highest esteem by the City Commission" and that there had been no intention or desire at any time "to impugn the honesty and integrity of the members of the club." The letter also pointed out that the so-called fraud had been "legal and technical and not actual fraud." The signing of the agreement, as a matter of course, makes official the appointment of Mrs. Roser, newly-elected president of the club, as club manager.

Staff Named Protection Unit In City

From then on, if enemy planes are spotted, there will be quick action on the part of the Air Corps and intercepter planes dispatched to meet the oncoming enemy. "These planes will not comprise a reception committee, either," Captain Redmond says. "They will be ready for action and of the type the enemy will expect but will not relish."

From Puerto Rico

Mr. and Mrs. Manuel A. Del-Valle of Cayey, Puerto Rico will arrive by plane this weekend to spend a few hours with Mr. and Mrs. Robert E. Schneider, 520 Alhambra Circle.

DON'T TAKE CHANCES WITH Your Safety In Times of Excitement, Refrain from Telephoning So that Vital Calls can have Right-of-Way

During public emergencies such as air raid warnings, practice blackouts, fires, storms, and ship sinkings, telephone lines must be kept clear for calls vital to the community's protection. Please don't be excited by rumors and rush to your telephone, for what may seem merely a rumor to you may develop into an emergency for the telephone company if everyone begins telephoning to ask about it. Rumors may easily be started purposely to hamper communication facilities at a time when they are most needed. In some places, a flood of calls during times of excitement has seriously hampered the work of police, fire and civilian defense authorities, endangering life and property. So we ask that you please refrain from telephoning during times of excitement and stress. At such times use the telephone only in case of serious personnel emergency. Your cooperation is essential for the effective handling of emergencies by the organizations assigned to those tasks. SOUTHERN BELL TELEPHONE AND TELEGRAPH COMPANY INCORPORATED
